i have never attempted this before. i want to install grease fittings while the warrior is apart. what should i get for tapping bits, and is a 16.9v variable speed drill sufficient, or do i need to use a drill press. thanks.

 

16x drill will be fine... where are you putting fittings??

 

in the swingarm pivot and bearing carrier, i got a 2001 raptor 660 rear shock and banshee front shocks, along with swingarm rebuild kit/bushings for the front. have you tapped your swingarm? should a straight zerk work, or a 45 degree be easier to grease. i havent figured out exactally where i am going to place it so any info helps. thanks.

 

STRAIGHT WILL BE FINE...

 

I am thinking of doing the same. let me know how it went & if possible can you e-mail or post some pics

 

You need to remember that when you do this, the bearings are sealed bearings. You will have to take the inner seals off or putting grease fittings in the carrier is usless. If you do all this, you cannot put to much grease in it or it will push the outer seals out and let dirt and water in. I've seen alot of people do this and never even realize that the grease never even gets to the bearings or the bearings don't last anytime because the shoved the outer seals off.

 

i know about the seals on the bearings but thanks anyways,asfasasu3. ill take some pics when i get into it, im still waiting for a few parts to come.

 

Copy and paste it's a pic of were i put mine on my raptor.. http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q...DGEPICS101.jpg
